  • Liberals cannot actively support it without also confronting the inherent contradictions within liberal ideology.

    Thank you, I couldn’t have asked for a better demonstration of this point. A healthcare system that is based on the free market but that is “regulat[ed] harshly and [with] a 50s style tax on the rich” is not universal healthcare!

    If you can see the issues with healthcare and can understand why universal healthcare would be a necesarry improvement then how are you still advocating for a free market solution for anything?

    That baby died a long time ago, and required required constant human rights violations to keep it alive in the first place. Getting rid of the bathwater won’t bring it back or make it require less cruelty to keep alive.


  • It’s still shocking to me that people were stupid enough to believe that Jim Crow Joe would be a remedy for fascism in the first place.

    It’s doubly shocking to me that you’ve already forgot about Roe v Wade, most deportations in history (even more than now), building and expansion of prisons/cop cities, expanded drone strikes/kidnappings, start of multiple genocides, etc. and then feel entitled enough to be this fucking glib.

    You have not been paying attention. If you believe in electoralism then stop punching down and redirect your rage at those who actually have power to change things within that system.



  • What do you think Gitmo(GTMO) and other military black sites are for?

    I don’t believe blacks and minorities were ever kidnapped and trafficked to foreign death camps

    Historically domestic death camps have been good enough. A prison where people are serving life sentences is a death camp, just a very slow, inefficient one.

    Those sent were charged with a crime, but not convincted. The laziness to not even coerce a plea deal as is tradition is the only real deviation from the “status quo”.

    I do appreciate that the fascist morons are too stupid to realize that the “inefficiencies” they saw were design features not flaws. Allowing for the whole charade to be exposed without having to argue against each individual part of the kafkaesque machine.

    In less than a month, the nazi party have already disappeared 1/3 the total number sent to Gitmo the last 23 years.

    Can you provide some more specifics+sources on those numbers so I can also reference them later with more specifics?

    Remember_the_tooth is spot on, but also glosses over the 20-21st century transition and the litany of bullshit that led to the modern police state. Jim Crow Joe and the 90s crime bill, Bush Jr.'s coup via Bush V Gore and the subsequent formation of DHS, expansion of black sites via the Iraq war, etc.


  • or are a registered member of a long dead movement.

    Oh, it should be long dead, but it’s not. There is a significant amount of people that legitimately think “Hitler was right”. Those you’re referencing aren’t all Nazis (though some certainly seem to be, or at least are heavily inspired by) they’re fascists.

    Using the word “Nazi” instead of “fascist” limits the useful historical comparisons that you can draw from and can have a blinding effect on making important comparisons. I do disagree with Stormdahl about ‘just calling them MAGA’ but I do agree with them that MAGA =/= Nazi just because it’s an explicitly fascist movement.


  • ~1 in 100 when talking about demographics and populations is in fact very common. There’s a reason prevalence is usually reported in #/100000.

    However, it might be better to compare to employment rates, based on US census data that’s about as common as engineers/architects(1.8%), social workers(1.7%), legal workers(1.1%), all scientists(0.9%), or farming+logging workers (0.7%).

    There are more trans/enby individuals than scientists, and you don’t see anyone saying “if scientist were normal and commonly occuring…”
